<strong>International</strong> housing <strong>of</strong>fice Cleaning inspection<br />

The <strong>International</strong> housing <strong>of</strong>fice will be making an inspection <strong>of</strong> your room after<br />

your departure. This inspection is made primarily to approve <strong>the</strong> cleaning you<br />

have carried out but also in order to assess <strong>the</strong> general condition <strong>of</strong> your room.<br />

We are planning <strong>the</strong> introduction <strong>of</strong> room inspections where <strong>the</strong> tenant will be<br />

present. This system will be introduced gradually during <strong>the</strong> Autumn <strong>of</strong> 2011 and<br />

Spring 2012. More in<strong>for</strong>mation about whe<strong>the</strong>r this applies to you will be found in<br />

<strong>the</strong> departure in<strong>for</strong>mation, sent to you approximately one month prior to your<br />

departure date.<br />

Your responsibility as a tenant:<br />

We refer you to point 11 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Terms <strong>of</strong> tenancy which appear on <strong>the</strong> back <strong>of</strong><br />

your housing contract. Leaving <strong>the</strong> room „in good condition‟ means cleaning <strong>the</strong><br />

room properly and not leaving things in <strong>the</strong> room which were not present on your<br />

arrival. If <strong>the</strong> inspection shows that you have not met <strong>the</strong> standards required you<br />

will be liable to pay <strong>for</strong> any additional cleaning or <strong>the</strong> cost <strong>of</strong> disposing <strong>of</strong> items.<br />

Cleaning properly will mean you avoid paying unnecessary costs:<br />

You must clean <strong>the</strong> room thoroughly prior to your departure. Please note that<br />

<strong>the</strong>re will only be one „cleaning inspection‟ so you must see that you meet <strong>the</strong><br />

standards required when <strong>the</strong> inspection takes place.<br />

Please use <strong>the</strong> cleaning checklist (PDF document) as your guide as to how to<br />

clean your room. The inspection will be based upon <strong>the</strong> checklist so please refer<br />

to it carefully. Some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> items may not be relevant to your room/apartment but<br />

be sure to fulfill <strong>the</strong> criteria <strong>for</strong> all items which are present.<br />

If you fail to clean properly <strong>the</strong> <strong>International</strong> housing <strong>of</strong>fice will charge you <strong>for</strong> any<br />

additional cleaning which must take place. Below are listed some examples <strong>for</strong><br />

cleaning charges incurred if you do not clean properly. Prices are in Swedish<br />

crowns and are subject to change.<br />

Cleaning <strong>of</strong> bathroom SEK 675<br />

Intensive cleaning <strong>of</strong> 1 room + kitchenette SEK 1560<br />

Cleaning <strong>of</strong> shower stall SEK 430<br />
